A bearded, long-haired man with a headband stands by the side of a road like a hitchhiker, holding out his thumb. In his other hand he holds a cardboard sign that reads "Half the remaining distance to my destination." The caption below reads: "So far, the empirical approach to Zeno's Paradox has been inconclusive" — the joke being that instead of naming a place, he is asking to be taken halfway to wherever he's going, echoing Zeno's paradox that motion requires crossing infinitely many half-distances. Votey: a handwritten note reads "Findings: Motion was probably more possible in the 60s," a nod to the man's hippie appearance.
